Food & beverage

Light and lively, exquisitely colourful and bright, somewhat mysterious and wistful – just like a dragonfly, our restaurant of the same name (“Libelle” in German) is waiting to greet you. Our chefs combine indigenous and exotic ingredients and herbs in perfect harmony. In the "blauen Ente" (blue duck), the non-smoking restaurant in Waldhotel Schäferberg, you can discover cuisine which is down-to-earth yet creative and modern. All dishes are prepared from fresh ingredients from the region. Some ingredients, such as numerous garden herbs, we even harvest ourselves. Enjoy the combination of tradition and fine living. "Unsere grüne Soße" (our green sauce, a local speciality), just like the various duck dishes, exemplifies our traditional cuisine with a modern lightness.
